CP+B Miami launched a new campaign for used goods marketplace app letgo, following up last October’s “Cliff” spot with new ads featuring the app being used in extreme situations.
In the 30-second “Space,” two astronauts are preparing to evacuate a spacestation, but one of them has reservations about getting rid of the amplifier he’s had since high school. “There’s no sound in space,” his partner reminds him, before she snaps a picture and convinces him to sell it on letgo, getting an offer from right outside the station almost instantly. A second spot imagines a man unwilling to part with his grill, even in the midst of a getaway. The basic approach is a solid one, finding exaggerated instances of people unwilling to part with items that are based on the relatable insight that all of us probably have something we should get rid off but won’t. Each ad ends with the line “It’s time to snap, post, chat and sell,” emphasizing how easy to use the app is. It’s basically more of the same from CP+B Miami in service of the brand, but it’s an approach that works well for the brand, so why mess with it?
